8 WEEKS OUT
Request time off work for moving day. If you can, plan to take off and move on a Friday. That gives you the rest of the weekend to get yourself organized. Nice tip, right?
Plan a garage sale. Then, donate anything left that you couldn’t sell.
Plan how to move fragile or unusual items, such as guns, pianos, fine art, pool tables or safes. The list goes on and on. The movers you hire may not be qualified to move some larger (or more expensive) items, so you may need to hire a specialty mover to do the job. Make sure you’re aware of exactly what the movers you hired will and will not move.
Confirm that your moving company is licensed and insured by verifying their Department of Transportation number (also referred to as a DOT number).
